From their beginnings as simple rule-based algorithms to the neural networks of
today, this workshop covered the advances in natural language processing and machine
learning that produced large language models.

Two sessions, run a week apart, with practical work on folding the tools into
existing business workflows rather than admiring them from a distance.
